Sunday 26th

Not as well attended by the public as last years event, probably due to the weather, it was sunny and warm, (probably gone to the beach instead !). The images below were taken on the Sunday, and shows the NWGAS member societies taking part.

All the stands had examples of observations and photographs taken by members of their societies. Also on display were telescopes and camera mounts.
